PATH custodial worker taken to hospital after falling off train

A PATH train cleaner in Jersey City was taken to the hospital early Monday morning after falling off the train he was cleaning and onto the track, an official said.

The 42-year-old man suffered back and leg injuries after falling off the PATH train in Journal Square onto Track 4 at roughly 12:39 a.m., according to Steve Coleman, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

The man was removed from the tracks by EMTs and taken to a local hospital.

The injuries were not life threatening and there was no disruption to PATH service, said Coleman.
